Part giant man. Part giant machine. All giant cop. The future of Godzilla enforcement.

Still can't get over that tiny street Robocop is walking down.

since the art was first posted I laugh everytime I see it. it looks ridiculous how out of proportion the rest is to robocop

Are you really trying to say the problem is with us not understanding perspective and not with the artwork?

Um. Yes? He looks huge because he's in the foreground, whereas the buildings you can see are in the background.

Quite simple really...

Get your eyes checked brother. You are making the same mistake the guy that designed this thing did.

Follow the line of where the front of Robocop's foot is to the sidewalk next to him. The sidewalk can't be that small past the dotted line. Robocop is about 5 times too large or the street is about 5 times too small...

There is only TWO ways that graphic of Robocop would work with that particular image of the street.

1. Shrink Robocop down so he is proportionate to the scale of the sidewalk that is right next to him. This would make for a pretty unexciting design unless you then blow the scale of the street and Robocop back up. The drawback to that would be that you would lose the buildings on either side because the street would be the correct width.

2. Bring Robocop forward much more and put the street further back in the background which is what should be done. Yes you would lose some of Robocop's legs but that would be more appealing to the eye than having him out of scale with the street.

 

[satanclaus]

Nothing wrong with my eyes, I'm definitely right, but I cba to go back and forth over it.

You are nowhere near correct on this either.

You see, you say that, but that's your perspective...and we've deduced you don't understand perspective...

 

[Sigill]

Ok guys, it's probably best to agree to disagree with this one. For me it does look out of perspective but it depends who is looking at it. We all see it differently.

Yes, some of us see it right and some see it wrong. Sorry, I had to.

Oops, clicked thanks instead of quote. Look at Robocop's feet. They are in line with the hydrant, which by comparison looks about the height of a coke can.

Exactly...and it is not the hydrant that is out of scale.

 

[greg]

you have to be high to not see the issue with this art

 

[Geek Tragedy]

you have to be high to not see the issue with this art

Or just want to like it so much that you would just refuse to see it.

 

[lolwut]

Yes, some of us see it right and some see it wrong. Sorry, I had to.

Wow, you're objectively wrong yet so smug about it!

Ordered yesterday!

 

[Lollard2002]

To be fair you blame the studios who though it was a good idea to have two video HD formats competing at the same time. That must have put a lot of people off.
It was commercial suicide and I'm amazed blu-ray has done as well as it has considering the damage the initial war done.
